Late payment will drive your credit score into the ground rapidly. Many people question filing a Bankruptcy even though their credit is shot through late payments on mortgages and other bills. Filing Bankruptcy put all collection activity on hold and your accounts show current and up to date as long as you make your payments on time. Most people are surprised tofine their credit in much better shape after a BK than before with a much higher credit score
Late payments can always be corrected, and this will be reflected on your credit file. Bankruptcy, however, will stay on your credit file for six years.

What is worse on your credit report charge offs repossessions or bankruptcy?
Any legal item that is shown in the public records portion of your credit report is a significant derogatory. That having been said; your credit rating and credit score takes into consideration ALL the factors showing. So it depends on what your definition of "worse" is. I have clients 2-3 years out of bankruptcy with higher credit scores that clients with pages of clean accounts that have recent late payments.

Is it better or worse for your credit to let the bank foreclose on a mortgage of a second property while facing bankruptcy?
A foreclosure or bankruptcy is never good for your credit, this is something you'd be better off discussing with an attorney. You can avoid foreclosure by filing bankruptcy.
If you just divorced and already have foreclosures and repossessions on your credit report will filing bankruptcy help your credit score?
No, filing bankruptcy will never help improve your credit score, it stays on your report 10 years whereas a repo or foreclosure normally remain 7 years. So bankruptcy would only make your credit worse.
How can you increase your credit score do to late payments?
Yes, you can increase your credit score by removing late payments from your credit report. You can either contact the creditor that placed the late payments and ask on good faith to have them removed. Some creditors will remove them if it is a one time occurrence, but most won't. You can also dispute the late payments to the credit bureaus. Depending on how old the are and how severe, they can come off your credit report. This will most likely remove the whole account thought, but 1 late payments is worse than all the good credit you can get from a good payment history.
What looks worse on your credit report Late payments or a bankruptcy?
Bankruptcy looks worse on your credit report than a late payment. They will both drop your score quite a bit, but a bankruptcy lets your lenders know you gave up on the debts owed, so making it harder to get new loans. You can always try to contact the credit bureaus to try and dispute the negative listings and have them removed if possible.

If you file chapter 7 will your credit cards which are not owed any money be cancelled?
If you owe anything at all on the cards, even though your payments are current, you have to include them in your bankruptcy filing. If however there is no charges on them, the creditor will probably stick you with an astronomical interest rate maybe 26+% (or worse in some states).
Will it help your credit if you dismiss your Chapter 13 bankruptcy and start making payments to your creditors?
No, it will probably hurt your credit. The Chapter 13 is on your credit report for 7 years from the date the Order for Relief is entered, which is the day the case is filed. So, even if you dismiss it the credit hit from the 13 has already appeared on your credit (a 75 to 150 point drop). And, if you dismiss it, then all the creditors included in it suddenly come back to life and would start billing you, making your debt to income ratio worse. And, if you fail to pay them, then the late payments would make your credit even lower. Once a 13 is filed, it's best - creditwise - to finish it.
What worse bankruptcy or debt relief?
